Learned helplessness and how it manifests #dogs #behavior #training #smalldogs #rehab #conditioning #fear #anxiety #learnedbehavior #reinforcedbehavior #coddling #cratetraining #fearbiting #animals
My happy jappy 🥰 we took a month off and it genuinely gives the motivation I need to get up daily when I see my dogs thriving. Jasper can be a bit nervous or reactive on initial meets, so to see him quickly use his nose and smell who I was, tells me he’s practicing his emotional regulation. Sniffing produces endorphins, however, overtly stressed dogs have a close to impossible time sniffing. But it’s proven here, he’s not as nervous as he used to be.
Got some footage of this weekend Paw prints on the Canal 👏🏾🐾 this event was the biggest grand opening event this summer for sure! I wanna say thank you to everyone who came and spoke with us 🥰
Mrs Luna the Rottweiler is boarding with preacher and I. She came pretty fearful and unsure about preacher. Lunas a day care pup so greetings with other dogs have a lot more chaotic, unregulated playful behaviors. Preacher as I’ve explained is a very serious dog, especially with other dogs. He’s made sure to provide her a clear understanding of what’s allowed and what’s not. She’s becoming a lot more of a respectful female puppy while staying with KLA
Are you reinforcing your fearful dog ? 🤔
Jasper is a two year old American bulldog who suffers from high anxiety. Regulating his emotions is extremely difficult for him and it almost seems like he’s holding his breath. Providing an artificial environment, we are introducing micro levels of stress at a time to start teaching him the process of regulating stress and working through it himself .
Thank you Joyce and Larry for joining us today at our event. BIG shout out to golden doodle Mrs Daisy Mae! She has been working with us since October, She came with severe fearfulness, Here she is today. ☺️💘
Loki is six years old and still having many firsts, and still growing !
My girl Roxy working through her stranger danger. Roxy is a nervy dog who doesn’t handle new situations and environments well. Stress induces fear, which causes a dog to choose flight fight or freeze. Dogs that are reconditioned around potential stressors, will create a “sit back and let them handle it “ mentality. Sometimes removing your dog from the front lines is an answer in itself. ...#dogtraining #caninebehavior #rehab #fearfulofmen #fearfuldog #goodgirl
